Only the best band(s) around at the moment and it seems to be all over for The Libertines already. I haven't segregated the Libertines and Babyshambles bits because I would imagine those that love one will love the other.

I think it is important to segregate the music from the various tabloid stories about certain (ex)members of the band. Listen to the music.

2) Andrew Kendall's site has all the various Libertines/Babyshambles sessions to download. You need BitTorrent which seems to put people off but is really easy to use. They have been up for a while now so there may not be many people seeding the torrents but give them a go!

3) Legs 11 (Early demos of by the boys) are available from boysintheband.co.uk:

Seven Deadly Frenchmen

6) Babyshambles.net gig videos loads of Babyshambles gigs here.

7) Punkcast videos of The Libertines' gig at CBGB, New York on the 30/04/2003. You can download 3 (really bad quality visually) videos of that show. You can also order a VCD of the entire show. Word to the wise: you can get all the videos on peer-to-peer so save your cash.

8) The French sessions - much talked about, now available to download amongst other things on 'hitdaddy':

01 Narcissist.mp3

02 Half Cocked Boy.mp3

03 The Ha Ha Wall.mp3

04 Through The Looking Glass.mp3
